Chrysler Sebring problems
The Chrysler Sebring (/ˈsiːbrɪŋ/ SEE-bring) is a line of mid-size automobiles that was sold from 1995 through 2010 by Chrysler. Three generations of convertibles, two generations of sedans, and two generations of coupes were produced. Although the coupe shared the same name and some styling cues, it was mechanically unrelated to the other Sebring models.
The Sebring line was introduced in 1995 with the Chrysler Sebring coupe. It was the replacement for the Chrysler LeBaron coupe. In 1996 the convertible was introduced, replacing its LeBaron counterpart as well. For 2001, both body styles were redesigned and a sedan version was offered, replacing the Chrysler Cirrus. The coupe was discontinued after 2005 with no replacement model planned.
The redesigned sedan was introduced for 2007, and a convertible the following year. New options included all-wheel drive on sedans and an available retractable metal top for the convertible. All Sebring models were replaced by the Chrysler 200 for the 2011 model year.

Common Chrysler Sebring problems
Based on the complaints from owners of Chrysler Sebring cars, several common problems have been identified:
- Oil Sludge Resulting in Engine Failure:
- The Chrysler Sebring, particularly the 2001 and 2002 models, faced chronic issues with oil leaks from the 2.7-liter engine, leading to engine sludge buildup and eventual failure.
- This problem often went unnoticed until it caused severe engine damage, necessitating costly repairs or even engine replacement.
- Owners reported average repair costs ranging from $3,000 to $6,000, with some needing multiple engine replacements due to recurring issues.
- Chrysler's lack of a recall or proactive response to this known problem added to owners' frustrations.
- Transmission Issues:
- Transmission problems are another common complaint among Chrysler Sebring owners, leading to issues like stalling, difficulty starting, or erratic shifting.
- These transmission issues can result in significant repair costs and affect the overall drivability of the vehicle.
- Failed Head Gaskets:
- Head gasket failures have been reported by owners, causing coolant leaks, overheating, and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly.
- Repairing or replacing a head gasket can be a costly and labor-intensive process, impacting the vehicle's reliability and performance.
- Electrical Problems:
- Owners have experienced various electrical issues, including problems with the instrument cluster, dash lights, power locks, power windows, and the radio.
- These electrical malfunctions can lead to inconvenience, safety concerns, and additional expenses for repairs or replacements.
- Suspension and Steering Components Wear:
- Components of the suspension system, such as ball joints, silent blocks, shock absorber support cups, and CV joints, are prone to wear and may require replacement at regular intervals.
- Steering rack issues may also arise after significant mileage, impacting the vehicle's handling and safety.
- Air Conditioning and Heating Problems:
- Many owners have reported issues with the air conditioning and heating systems, including problems with the blower fan, loud noises, water pooling, and compressor failures.
- Addressing these HVAC issues can be necessary for comfort and climate control within the vehicle.
- Occupant Restraint Control Module Failure:
- The occupant restraint control module, responsible for airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner functions, can fail due to moisture intrusion or electronic component issues.
- Failure of this module can lead to airbag system malfunctions, potentially compromising occupant safety in the event of a collision.
These common problems with Chrysler Sebring cars highlight the importance of thorough inspection, regular maintenance, and awareness of potential issues to ensure the longevity and reliability of the vehicle.

- Date Complaint: 2024-05-16
- VIN: 1C3LC56K68N
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Engine frequently stalls while driving. I've had my car shut off while I'm driving many times, the steering wheel and brakes lock up and it makes it hard to get off the street to safety. This happens a LOT. It is very dangerous and scary. I get anxiety everytime I drive because I'm scared of it happening again. My car once turned off in the middle of a busy intersection while trying to turn. It came on after about 45 seconds but it was terrifying. Battery often dies (just replaced it). Horn would go off randomly without stopping for a long time. I had to disconnect the horn (on both sides) because it would keep randomly going off with no way to stop it. Cruise control stopped working one day. Sometimes it comes up when I press cruise control but it turns off when I try setting a speed. Drivers window broke inside, I think something snapped inside the door. I've had it replaced 3 times but it keeps breaking. A/C makes an awful grinding noise sometimes, but it goes away if I turn the A/C off then back on. Also with the A/C, a door or something inside the dash will get stuck every so often and it makes a LOUD clicking like noise but it goes away after about 20 seconds (something to do with the actuator?). Brake light will come on sometimes when I stop. It goes away shortly after I start driving again. ABS light has been on my dash for a few months now. Most of these issues have been happening for over a year now. Most of this shows up under a recall from 2008, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: WIRING. It doesn't show up under my VIN number but I'm having the same exact problems.

- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,ENGINE
- Summary: I was on my way to work. All the warning light appeared on my dash. Then all the warning light, radio, speedometer gage and all head light and tail lights went out. I was driving in the dark. My engine bogged down no power. I was barley moving. I replaced the battery no difference. I replaced the alternator worked for 3 minutes and then the car was back to the same as before. I contacted a nearby mechanic facility they told me that it was most definitely the fuse panel under the hood. That's its not a recall but a lawsuit replacement. I notified the manufacturer and they told me my Vin number was not under recall. I'm confused on what to do not. I'm in no way able to purchase a new vehicle at this time. Nor spend hundreds or thousands in repairs. Please help.

Vehicle year: 2008
The 2008 Limited Hardtop convertible is a classic. It's a blast to drive and has plenty of performance. I wanted to mention that the performance and handling of the Sebring improved greatly when we installed a set of General Altimax RT43 tires. The previous tires made the car harsh riding and were very noisy. The difference was amazing! We get great mileage on the road, averaging 27 to 28 mpg. Since we live in the country, almost all our driving miles are on 60 mph roads. With the windscreen up, the car is quieter, and with the side windows down, it's even more enjoyable. I've owned many convertibles, including a 1958 Morris Minor, and the Sebring is by far the best.

I purchased this car when it was 3 years old with 30K miles. I've had it now 11 years and put 50K more miles on it. It has been extremely low maintenance. I would not hesitate to head out on a nice long vacation in it, as is. It has been a very enjoyable car to own.

Vehicle year: 1997
The Sebring Convertible is a fantastic car. I bought mine back in September 1997 and I still own it to this day. The original Michelin tires lasted an impressive 75000 miles and it has never required an alignment. The replacement Michelins have now covered 50000 miles and still look good for at least another 20000. The 2.5L V6 SOHC 24V FI engine has a gas mileage range of 21 (city) to 31 mpg, with an average road mpg of 28. The total maintenance cost has been limited to normal maintenance such as oil and filter changes, a 60000 mile transmission service, a 100000 mile tune-up, and 3 sets of brake pads.
Are you having problems with your Chrysler Sebring?
Clovis Funk 2025-04-19
Vehicle year: 2001
Although I have experienced several issues with this car, I have taken the necessary steps to address them. I have replaced the wheel bearings on the driver's side, fixed the HVAC unit, and had the key removed by a mechanic. Additionally, I have had the motor for the air conditioning replaced and the oil leak fixed twice. While the car is currently in the shop for another repair, I am confident that it will be resolved soon. Although I was warned about the engine in this car, I have learned from my experience and will make a more informed decision in the future. While I have had some challenges with this car, I remain confident in my ability to handle any issues that may arise.
Oscar Nitzsche 2025-04-16
Vehicle year: 1999
I bought my car from CarMax 7 years ago with 37,000 miles on it. Two years after the purchase, I experienced a random transmission leak which cost around $1500 to fix. Three years ago, in the middle of summer, the A/C suddenly stopped working. I spent many hours and over $300 getting it fixed, but unfortunately, it just went out again today. A few years ago, I noticed a gas smell every time I got in the car. After spending $200, I found out that there was a gas leak above the tank. Last summer, the battery light came on and I was told that the alternator was going bad. I spent $250 on parts and labor. Four months ago, the dash gauges kept going dead with the ABS light on and battery light. I replaced the alternator again for $175. Unfortunately, the third one is now bad with dead dash gauges again, and I still can't figure out what's causing the issue.
Izaiah Wilderman 2025-04-14
Vehicle year: 2010
The car has experienced several issues such as transmission whining, steering rack failure, worn-out struts and shocks, and groaning drive seat motors. Additionally, there have been evap system leaks and spark plug issues. These problems seem to be common among Chrysler products from 2007-2011. As a loyal Chrysler customer, I am disappointed with the quality of this car and hope that the company will take steps to improve their products in the future.
Wade Schmeler 2025-04-12
Vehicle year: 2005
In 2005, I was thrilled to get my car. It felt luxurious and was the closest thing to a fancy car I could afford as a student with a low income. However, I have had some difficulties with it. Replacing the battery requires removing the front wheel, and replacing spark plugs requires removing the upper plenum and intake. These repairs can be expensive, which has been a challenge for me as someone on a tight budget. If you have the means to invest in regular maintenance, this car may be a good fit for you. However, if you're on a tight budget like me, it may not be the best choice. Despite the challenges, I am grateful for the time I have had with my car.
Hayden Kulas 2025-04-10
Vehicle year: 2003
I've been a loyal Chrysler customer for over 30 years, but unfortunately, this will be my last. The car is undeniably beautiful, with an exterior that still looks almost new after 7.5 years. It's roomy, handles great, feels solid, and the stereo is fantastic. However, I've had some issues with it lately, and it spends more time with my mechanic than with me! Unfortunately, the transmission stopped working right after the warranty expired, and it's been one thing after another since then. I've never had so many problems with a car before, and I've owned two others for over 10 years each! It's really disappointing, and I'm now considering other manufacturers' vehicles.
